The Phillie Phanatic was taken to the hospital after being struck
by a foul ball at an IronPigs baseball game at Coca-Cola Park
here.

A spokeswoman for Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest told The
Morning Call that Tom Burgoyne, the man inside the Philadelphia
Phillies mascot's costume, was treated in the emergency room
Wednesday night and later released.

The Phanatic was entertaining behind the first-base dugout in the
top of the third inning when a foul ball from the Indianapolis
Indians hit his neck , the area around Burgoyne's head. The
Phanatic acted wounded but kept clowning for a while until he
later left the stadium and went to the hospital.

That’s right, the Phanatic gutted it out and continued to provide
the fans with world-class silliness despite his injury.
